John Duke of Bourbon, and Lord Bouciqualt: [75]
Of other lords and barons, knights and squires,
Full fifteen hundred, besides common men.

KING HENRY
This note doth tell me of ten thousand French
That in the field lie slain. Of princes, in this number,

And nobles bearing banners, there lie dead [80]
One hundred twenty-six: added to these,
Of knights, esquires, and gallant gentlemen,

Eight thousand and four hundred; of the which
Five hundred were but yesterday dubb’d knights:
So that, in these ten thousand they have lost, [85]
There are but sixteen hundred mercenaries;
The rest are princes, barons, lords, knights, squires,

And gentlemen of blood and quality.
The names of those their nobles that lie dead;
Charles Delabreth, High Constable of France, [90]

Jacques of Chatillon, admiral of France,
The master of the cross-bows, Lord Rambures,
Great Master of France, the brave Sir Guichard Dauphin,
John Duke of Alençon, Antony Duke of Brabant,
The brother to the Duke of Burgundy; [95]

And Edward Duke of Bar: of lusty earls,
Grandpré and Roussi, Faulconbridge and Foix,
Beaumont and Marle, Vaudemont and Lestrale.

Here was a royal fellowship of death!
Where is the number of our English dead? [100]
Edward the Duke of York, the Earl of Suffolk,
Sir Richard Kikely, Davy Gam, esquire;
None else of name; and of all other men

But five and twenty. O God, Thy arm was here!
And not to us, but to Thy arm alone, [105]
Ascribe we all! When, without stratagem,

But in plain shock and even play of battle,
Was ever known so great and little loss
On one part and on th’ other? Take it, God,
For it is none but Thine!
